This palm remains high on my wish list! I had a small one in 2017, but an ox rhino beetle ate it before I even knew about this issue in Puerto Rico.

I am at 1000 feet with mountains for good drainage and plenty of rain. I have no trouble growing palms like Iriartea and Socratea but I understand it may still be a tough grow.

I see seeds for sale now on RPS and am tempted, although getting them to PR will be costly.

In the meantime I love all the photos! Thanks!

Hi Ya Cindy. This has been a quirky species for me, like trying to figure out what a non-verbal living entity needs and wants. They are managing to grow, although slowly, but are still specimen palms in the garden.

Wettinia, Socratea, and Iriartea, thrive here and require very little care. I will carry on and react as well as I can.

    The only way I managed to keep two alive was to plant them out at second leaf stage or thereabouts. We just had a horrible run of low temperatures so I am a little concerned at what I will find when I get back to NZ!

    Have heard about some of the cold you’ve had over your side of the ditch Richard. Hope everything holds up alright until you get back!
